Took my kid to see it, was entertaining in a childish fashion. Though I don't see how it fits in between Ep. 2-3, seems like they threw what was previously laid out and went with a story that would appeal to the younger crowd.
I did enjoy the Jedi duels, as animation allows a better range of what Jedi could potentially do with their powers.
Wow, could have fooled me... he's obviously had some influence on some poor people.
Really don't see why they couldn't have hired some decent writers... at least for the film/pilot. Would have made rewatchability not completely inconceivable.

Saw it with my kids today. Enjoyable, but I considered it really as something additional. I doubt you get it when you don't know the movies. Simple, enjoyable, although personally I felt it was getting a tad boring by the time Anakin and Ahsoka fly back to Tatooine.
Anyway, enetertaining enough. Animation looked nice, but not something for a non-SW audience.
Few things I did find a bit annoying:
1. The SW universe seems to be getting smaller: everyone keeps meeting everyone.
2. Skywalkers are getting close to being house friends to the Hutts. They just pop in there every so many years
3. The limited vocabulary in the SW universe: bucket of bolts seems to be the only pharse to describe an old ship, and Sith people have a tendency to always use one line: : Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen. Sounds like a mantra or something by now.
4. Lots of repetitions in the lines and explaining what was going on. Was that with episodes and commercials breaks in mind or something????
5. A transvestite Hutt???? Now I've seen everything.
Just finished my second viewing, its much better the second time around. All the silly stuff like Ziro's image/voice just glides past (although if you hate him, you hate him, I guess..) and you can just zone out and watch the lightsabers and lasers flying around without paying much attention. Scrap my first post about the music/Ashoka cause they dont even matter anymore. I can easily watch this over and over on DVD when theres nothing good on tv. I love it.

Good Lord, Tangible, of all the people to quote to try and reflect your own opinion... Nac just likes to ride things down trying to sound cool and dejected about it, in which he fails, but I cannot believe someone would just COPY him...
